The X-Window program Dama lets you play Turkish draughts. This game is rather different from British draughts:

Dangen is a simple-looking vector-graphics shoot 'em up game that attaches importance to accuracy of shooting.
With the combination of the cursor key and the shot button, you can shoot at your side or even at your back. Get the bonus point by hitting the enemy without a miss. You can choose stages of different difficulty.

Danger from the deep (aka dangerdeep) is a Free / Open Source World War II german submarine simulation. It is currently available for x86-32/64 Linux, Windows, OSX, and FreeBSD, but since it uses SDL/OpenGL it should be portable to other operating systems or platforms. (If anyone whishes to port it, please contact us.) This game is planned as tactical simulation and will be as realistic as our time and knowledge of physics allows. It's current state is ALPHA, but it is playable.
